At work: An ojek Rider of Pinogu repairs the front brake of his motorcycle. Most ojek drivers, who carry goods to Pinogu along a muddy and sometimes dangerous road from Tulabolu, have only a front brake as it is considered more secure on the rugged terrain.

High speed wicker: "..While you could get from the Portuguese town of Funchal to the nearby Monte on bus. The tobaggan is the way to really travel.

Monte sits between 600 and 800 meters above sea level, and is connected to the sea level town of Funchal by a steep, winding road. In 1890, locals came up with a simple and fun way to get themselves down the 5 km hill .

The toboggans are wicker two-seaters sleds that glide on wooden runners, and two men in rubber-soled boots accompany you for the ride, acting as human brakes and insuring you the sleds stay on course. The ride takes about ten minutes, and can reach up to  48 km/hour."  Via: Atlas Obscura

P.S. I love you:  In the spring of 1951 Peggy Iris Thomas left off from Liverpool with 60 dollars in her pocket , a new BSA Bantam motorcycle named "Oppy" loaded to straining point with clothes, food, and complete camping equipment., and her Airedale Terrier Matelot both companion and guardian.

In their adventure Peggy and Matelot were to pitch their tent in such places as a vacant lot in downtown Los Angeles, a Mexican village bar room, a mosquito-infected Louisiana swamp, and on the heights of New Jersey’s Palisades.

In A Ride In The Sun - Gasoline Gypsy, Peggy tells the lighthearted story of her adventures whilst motorcycling through the forests of Nova Scotia and over the Canadian Rockies, stopping long enough along the way to recoup her finances by holding down two office jobs at once in an eighteen-hour working day in New Brunswick, and working as an apple picker and factory labourer in British Columbia. Then off down the beautiful Pacific coast, south east to Mexico and up the eastern seaboard to New York City. Undaunted by sandstorms, earthquakes, tropical gales and incredible desert heat, thrilled by the invigorating life out doors and cheered along by her many new-found friends, she has woven her unique journey into an engaging account of life on the open road.

“That same evening, all the participants got envelopes with a demarcated route, a detailed description of the dreams they were supposed to have at individual stages of the journey, and individual tasks. Immediately it became obvious that the warnings of the Grand Master’s emissary were not just empty phrases. Without those warnings, the tasks would have made everyone wonder. I will cite just a few: One Bicyclist, for example, was to buy ten grams of hashish in a certain street from a certain man in Istanbul, and then to smoke it during the month of September in room 213 of the ‘Paris Hotel’; another, on the other hand, was ordered to buy an old house in Smyrna, to renovate it, furnish it and then give it to a third Bicyclist who was to arrive in Smyrna on August 15 in order to set that same house on fire during the night of the 16th and 17th; one was actually supposed to open a fabric store in Athens, and another to become a chef at the residence of the British ambassador in Ankara.”

"The only officially recognized replica of Shotaro Kaneda’s motorcycle from Katsuhiro Otomo’s Akira manga and film is currently traveling across Japan. Shinji Tejima from the Showa Studio automobile repair shop spent seven years and approximately 10 million yen (about US$121,400) to build the motorcycle, and is riding it across Japan to raise money for the children’s autism support group Bokura Company."  Via: Gunjap
